AROUND THE POUNDS: Jackson, an abandoned dog, needs your help

Monday

Jackson, a 3-year-old yellow Labrador retriever, really needs some love. His owners simply abandon him, leaving him outside the shelter. Jackson has lots of enery and enjoys playing with tennis balls. This friendly guy likes other dogs and would do well with a playmate. His only pet peeve? He doesn't get along with cats. If you are interested in adopting Jackson, call the Milton Animal Shelter at 617- 698-0413. Animal shelters throughout the South Shore are filled with dogs and cats that would make great companions. Read the complete list of those pets who are anxiously awaiting a “forever home.”
